Why? Microsoft gives them a ton of money for CI and infrastructure. Unless they are having serious technical issues I don't see why they would move to a more expensive and probably less well integrated CI provider.

Putting aside GitHub’s relationship with ICE, […]

More importantly, Actions is created by monkeys and completely neglected. After the CEO of GitHub said to “embrace AI or get out”, it seems the lackeys at Microsoft took the hint, because GitHub Actions started “vibe-scheduling”; choosing jobs to run seemingly at random. Combined with other bugs and inability to manually intervene, this causes our CI system to get so backed up that not even master branch commits get checked.

It's "relationship with ICE" is that they haven't banned an official US government agency from buying their software. I might not agree with what ICE is doing but I also don't agree with every corporation in the world having to morally police all of their customers for fear of being pilloried by cancel culturists.

The "created by monkeys" seems to be a minor bug. What system doesn't have those? I've certainly had plenty worse bugs with Gitlab CI.

"Completely neglected" is complaining about the lack of FreeBSD support!

I do think GitHub is relatively neglected. There are quite a few big issues they could fix with relatively little effort but they seem to go years with no comment.

It's not really much better with Gitlab though; the only difference is you see more "a large premium customer is requesting this" comments!

I doubt Forgejo really have more resources to fix bugs than GitHub or Gitlab.

I love those! /s 😄 It can certainly feel like a pattern, specifically for some tickets.
